S14 With Neo Rb25 Drift Car.


Recommended Posts

yeah more like grenaded haha.

ad to say that the beams motor didnt get anywhere near pulling a power run let alone cracking gate.

Was on dyno for an hour or so going through basic fuel map tuning at light load under 3500rpm when it came to a grinding halt. Made a really bad noise and completely seized the motor.

Bit of a sad result after all the time and effort. Got sold a dud engine and beginning to think that rod bolts were loose perhaps.

Massive thanks to the guys at Garage 7 for their help, patience and support. Gets hoping i can get a motor sorted soon.

Did it have the factory seal of approval or was it a "built" motor? I've seen and heard so many rebuilt motors go pop due to the guy only building 1 a year and doing something wrong. Something to be said for stock bottom ends, the guy at the factory did a shit tonne of them.

at first i thought it was a loose rod bolt... but the big end was still firmly on the crank and the bearings and crank are still good. it looks like a total rod failure. Motor still had OEM sealant on sump.

Now on the hunt for a new motor and some stronger rods which i'll put in. not sure if i want to go down the path of forged pistons however

sadly no. cause that would have topped it!

so brief update.. stripped new motor down, Got some spool conrods ready to go in once i get some new ACL bearings for it (wanted OEM but too hard to get) weighing up if i should change pistons to some 2jzgte ones or retain the OEM pistons. 2j pistons fit right in, same pin height and ring land set up, they even take the same rings. however they need machining of the skirts to clear oil squirters and also to recess the valves. Once done and fitted gives around 9.8:1 CR.
